Is your love long distance and you’re trying to figure out when to propose? You only have so much time with one another during visits — when is best to fit in that incredibly important event? How about the moment she arrives?

Airports are a fun, clever, and often pleasantly unexpected time and place to propose. While being in such a public, crowded space can seem like a deterrent, there are ways to use that to your advantage! Flash mobs are gaining in popularity for all kinds of activities, and they can be a great way to create a unique and surprising proposal. Here are some great ideas for airport flash-mob proposals to get you thinking–

Signs:

As she makes her way through the airport to meet you, she keeps running across people with signs professing your love for her and reminiscing on your relationship. There are more and more of them until she find you — hold a sign saying “Will you marry me?” What could be a better prelude to the proposal than to be reminded of how much she means to you?

Balloons:

She is making her way through the airport, and random kind strangers keep handing her balloons in her favorite colors. There are even pictures of the two of you attached to the string — your first date, first anniversary, favorite vacation spot. As she gets to your arranged meeting spot, she can’t help but grin at the giant bouquet of balloons she is carrying. Imagine how much happier she will become who you greet her by proposing! Or maybe attaching the ring to a final balloon?

Singing:

One of the most common uses of flash mobs is to create a surround-sound musical experience, and it works wonderfully! Singers can be situated all around you, masquerading as other airport patrons. When your beau greets you, these strangers suddenly burst into your favorite song — the one that so perfectly describes your relationship. As she looks around in surprise, she turns to find you on one knee with a ring just for her!

Flash mobs can make airport proposals a one-of-a-kind experience, but it takes a lot of coordination and planning to pull it off! Especially since these types of proposals will require getting permission and sometimes permits from the airport. But don’t despair — The Heart Bandits are here!
